My dear little Chelle-chelle,
This may be the last time I'd allow myself to call you this way, as you are a real doctor now -:)
It's
been an overwhelming couple of days... I didn't anticipate the level of
loud and silent celebrations -- from the ceremony itself and then via social
media. It's been a rewarding experience for me, and I am so happy
for you.
Once again, Chelle, congratulations! It's a great accomplishment, and we are all very proud of you!!
Here is a photo I put together to remind you of the young and hopeful little Michelle; to remind you of your eager and happy self when started this long journey to pursue
medicine. Now, you've been through part of the journey. I hope your
eagerness remains and your passion and devotion fresh... From this
point on, finally, grades are no longer enough. You will soon be
responsible for making life-and-death decisions, and that's an enormous
thing!
I
just witnessed some 180 students graduating from the same class of a medical school. Their
paths will diverge, eventually, and the road to be the BEST doctor is
not easily traveled. Continue your life-long journey with optimism,
persistence, passion, devotion and strength. I hope that at the end of the journey,
you'll be able to look back and smile.
Love,
Mom
Michelle: August 7, 2012 and May 12, 2016
